That client project you tracked for 3 hours last Tuesday — what did you actually bill? The meeting on Thursday — was it logged? When it's time to invoice, are you guessing? If you're still tallying hours in a spreadsheet, you're leaving money on the table. Hourly fixes this. Tap once to start tracking, tap again when you're done. Every session is recorded to the second, assigned to the right project, and automatically calculated against your hourly rate.
